Hi I'm new here.
I have an HP PC with an ASUSTeK LNA Tiger Hybrid Capture Device built in, using a weakish indoor aerial pointing at UK Hannington transmitter.
Previously, I had tried 3 other TV Tuner Viewer type programs (e.g. AVS TV Box & ProgDVB) and consistently only been able to tune to the 6 BBC stations of Multiplex 1 on digital channel 50, on all of these programs. I originally thought that there was something wrong with my TV Tuner card; perhaps not appropriate for the UK.
However, I recently saw that HP recommended MediaPortal so I came here and installed it. I was overjoyed to see that it was able to tune to 54 digital TV stations and 23 digital Radio stations; that just 14 less in total than my main TV on an outdoor aerial.
I am curious to understand what is preventing these other programs from tuning all the digital stations that MediaPortal finds? They seem only to concentrate on digital channel 50 altho' I tell them to scan from 22 to 68.
I originally installed the TV-Server version of MediaPortal but found that the Client-Server structure was too complicated and awkward for my standalone PC, so I reverted to the Built-in Engine version.
I find that altho' it recognises the Analogue half of the TV card as a separate entity, it cannot tune to any stations, reporting "Unable to create graph for this device!".
I presume this is because the Built-in Engine version is unable to handle both sides of a hybrid device?
